Genuine vs Non-Genuine Toner, which is better?

There is much debate as to the cost benefits of using genuine or non-genuine toner in your printer. If your machine is under a maintenance agreement, your local dealer will be supplying genuine toner which you should be using all the time. Fuji Xerox Business Centre Cairns does not recommend the use of non-genuine toner, as it can cause issues when bonding to the paper via the heating element amongst other issues. It’s generally always recommended to use the manufacturer’s brand of toner, as while it may be cheaper initially, it can cause issues which then cost a lot more to repair.
So, what’s the real difference between the two?

Genuine Toner

Genuine toner cartridges are cartridges that are specifically made by the company that built your printer. They are designed to work with your specific printer, whereas non-genuine or remanufactured cartridges aren’t.

Non-Genuine Toner

Non-genuine toner is created by a third-party supplier that claims their toners are ‘compatible’ with certain printers when in truth, they aren’t. More often than not, non-genuine toners are recycled from used toner cartridges, with parts replaced by lesser quality alternatives.

You’re not really saving anything by using non-genuine toner

One of the biggest reasons people decide to purchase non-genuine toners is because they think it’s saving them money. However, if your toner is delivering mediocre print jobs, which don’t accurately represent your value proposition, then what’s the point of saving a few dollars here and there? Poor quality print jobs not only make your work look less professional, but it likewise may make you look inferior to your competition.
